Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw buckwheat groats (or roasted buckwheat/kasha)
  • 2 tbsp cacao powder
  • 1 cup plant based milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
Toppings
  • ½ cup plantbased milk
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup strawberries chopped
  • 3 tbsp pecan nuts
  • 3 tbsp dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp soy yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp desiccated coconut

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If you are using buckwheat groats, start by soaking the buckwheat in twice the amount of water for at least 4-5 hours, preferably overnight. Drain and rinse it well before you start cooking. If using kasha, there is no need to soak.
  2. Add the buckwheat, cacao powder, plant based milk and maple syrup to a saucepan. Avoid adding too much liquid at the start - if it gets too dry, simply pour in more milk or water as you cook the porridge.
  3. Bring to a light simmer and cook for around 10 minutes, stirring frequently, over a low-medium heat. If you are using kasha, it will take less time (6-7 minutes).
  4. Transfer to a bowl and serve with the toppings.

Notes

  • You can keep this buckwheat porridge in the fridge for up to 3 days in a jar or airtight container. Reheat on the stove and add more plant based milk.
